CARE TAKEN
Further to recent news that Douglas Wood’s fellow captive Ulf Hjertstrom planned to have their kidnappers whacked, the Stockholm Spectator reports:
Hjertström, an oil broker whose career took him to Iraq 25 years ago, makes no bones about the decision to exact revenge on his abductors. “I’ve lived [in Iraq] for a long time. This is how things are done there. It’s nothing new to me,” he says.
Hearty Hjertström “doesn’t want to go into detail” about the bounty hunters, but assures Expressen that they are “the best money can buy.”
“They’re not twiddling their thumbs,” declares Hjertström, revealing that he has “received confirmation that two of [the kidnappers] have already been taken care of.”
UPDATE. Donnah comments: “Was it Allawi again?”
